Features & Capabilities

Requires your own paid OpenAI API Key! This shows a popup with a ChatGPT-generated summary when you hover a link with your mouse, so you can get a better idea of an article's content before leaving the current page. You can also ask follow up questions to the AI.

You must configure Hover Summary with your own OpenAI API Key in the extension settings. I suggest setting a usage maximum in OpenAI's settings to avoid surprises. Cost will depend on usage and GPT model (over the 2 days I spent developing this I used about $0.68, but for me it was heavy usage due to the need to test a lot) - please consult OpenAI's pricing.

Note this sends the content of links you hover to OpenAI's API! Hover Summary fetches page contents using fetch(url, {credentials: 'omit'}) to avoid sending personal data, but please be aware of OpenAI's privacy policy. You can disable Hover Summary for specific sites with the "Disable for this site" button in the extension popup.

This works best for articles, blogs and text-heavy pages but there are cases where Hover Summary is not able to get useful page contents and therefore you won't get a good summary. Images, videos and dynamic page content are not visible to Hover Summary.

This includes a copy of Readability.js (https://github.com/mozilla/readability, Apache License 2.0) to summarize a page's contents.

Is Hover Summary Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Hover Summary requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Hover Summary may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
